Archived from groups: rec>autos>makers>honda, others (more info?)

Hi,

I just purchased a used 1999 Honday Odyssey EX. The van does not have
the optional GPS Navigation system from Honda.

I want to know if it is possible to install a GPS Nav system
after-the-fact. I recognize that this would change the layout of the
dash, so I'm not even sure if it's possible. The GPS Nav system for the
Odyssey also runs the heaing & AC controls, so there are fewer knobs on
the dashboard. I'm guessing I would have to go to an auto wrecking yard
for the plastic dashboard frame stuff.

Should it be possible, what am I looking for? I've seen used DVD Nav
systems for sale that are supposed to work with several different model
Honda's, but I don't know exactly which model would work with my
vehicle. Further, if I found a '99 model that would work with my
vehicle, would its maps be horribly out-of-date and unable to be
updated?

Thanks in advance!

Yes it is possible. The real question is... are you willing to pay the
price.

Just the navigation control unit's, retail price is over $2000! I would
estimate the cost of retro fitting factory navi to be between 3 and 5
thousand dollars, assuming you pay retail for everything. And do the labor
yourself.

A better solution is a Garmin Nuvi.

I recently had the opportunity to use one and it works well.
2 problems from my experience:
1. The screen is smaller than the factory navi.
2. If you don't take it with you, when you exit the car, someone else
will...
